What are Metering and Dosage Pumps?

Metering and dosage pumps deliver specific volumes of liquid at controlled rates, essential for processes requiring accurate chemical dosing. They are used in pool and spa chlorination, bore water pH correction, cooling tower treatment, agricultural applications, and wastewater management. Types include diaphragm pumps, solenoid-driven pumps, and peristaltic pumps. Key components are the diaphragm, check valve, injection point, solenoid coil, stroke length adjuster, foot valve, and chemical suction line. Proper maintenance is vital to prevent failures that compromise dosing accuracy.

Where are Metering Pumps used in Adelaide?

In Adelaide, metering pumps are utilized in several sectors:

1. Pool and spa chlorination in residential and commercial properties in the eastern suburbs and Hills.
2. Bore water pH correction and treatment in the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale.
3. Cooling tower and industrial water treatment in regions like Salisbury and Edinburgh.
4. Agricultural chemical dosing in areas such as the Barossa and McLaren Vale.

Our expertise is demonstrated in projects like replacing a Grundfos DME dosing pump for pool chlorination in Norwood and installing a ProMinent solenoid pump for bore water pH correction in Crafers.

Signs of Failure and Common Problems

Metering pumps can experience issues that affect performance, such as:

• Inconsistent dosing rates due to a worn diaphragm or blocked check valve.
• Pumps failing to prime because of air in the chemical suction line or a faulty foot valve.
• Diaphragm leaks from chemical exposure or age.
• Erratic stroke action caused by solenoid or stroke adjuster faults.
• Check valve blockages from crystallisation or debris.
• Chemical crystallisation in the suction line.

If your dosing pump is experiencing any of these problems, our skilled plumbers can diagnose, repair, or replace components to restore optimal performance.
